i am looking for something that i can ride for 7 miles to work occasionally and also to the railway station

i was thinking of an Manual kick scooter

what are the odds people will laugh at me when they see me on it?

also will it even be doable or is it too slow?

Just go with a ldp longboard.
You'll look like a hipster but a kickscooter makes you look like an autistic weird adult. The choice is yours.

Just buy a electrical motorcycle or bicycle, why deal with this shit. I don't feel like it's a very safe vehicle to ride daily.

E-scooters are the best if there is a place to park it.

Very likely. They won't even think you're trashy like an e scooter user or bicycle user, who they'll at least they'll give the respect of being a dangerous person to.
And seven miles is a lot for a commute in anything but something that can meet the speed limits, you'll be about as slow as jogging but beat up your knees less. If you do have a clear path to ride that I'd say use a bicycle, unless kick scooters are allowed on sidewalks and bikes aren't and there's a chance that'll actually be enforced on you.
If your issue is instead space to put the thing when you're not using it, I recommended considering an electric unicycle. Yes you need a helmet for those especially if you get a model that can keep up with traffic, but they're so odd and compact that if you get off and pull the thing behind you nobody is going to say anything, since they wouldn't know what to say and you won't be causing trouble.

manual scooter is slow and rather inefficient, and more importantly, it completely halts on uphill
get a folding bike, or just a shitty-looking but well-riding used regular bike, and lock it to a fence when you arrive to the station

nothing can be enforced onto a bicycle
you either dive deep into the city/forest or switch to the road and leg it

just get a bike, 7 miles isn't nothing and you'll appreciate having storage and a seat.

said, you really are better off with just a bicycle. I know it might be easy to dismiss this advice as just some bikefag elitism or whatever but 7 miles is like a 30 minute commute at most and you wouldn't have to worry about shit like range anxiety or charge status, and to be quite frank, you'd probably rather bike those 7 miles than be forced to stand on a scooter the whole way. You'd also feel like less of a jackass just moving down the rode on a bike than on a scooter, which I know is a very shallow way of looking at things but I don't think psychological factors can be dismissed either.

>range anxiety or charge status,
Oh wait, I just realized OP isn't even talking about an E-scooter, he's talking about a kick scooter
Naw forget what I said about bikefag elitism or whatever, you're actually brain damaged if you think a kick scooter is even remotely appropriate for a 7 mile commute to work. You'd be going a fraction of the speed of a bike for a lot of extra wasted effort. I wouldn't even consider a kick scooter for a 1 mile journey let alone 7. You're not in elementary school anymore anon

Why do you care about other peoples opinion of you? Just stop that.
For a commute as short as 7 miles you have absolute freedom of choice, running shoes, inline skates, bicycle, amish scooter even the kick scooter you're suggesting.
If I was you I'd get a bicycle. It carries your shit too so you don't have to, it's the fastest and most efficient option and when you need to go somewhere you have a bicycle.
Other options, especially the kick scooter, are severely limiting you. You probably wont go 100 miles or further on that thing.
Get a bicycle friend. Get a used, no bells and whistles, ordinary bicycle in good condition. It won't break the bank and will be loyal to you forever.
Also bicycles are the only vehicle that have a soul just saying.

7 miles is about the upper limit for the average person on a kick scooter. That distance could be covered in an hour at a moderate pace. A bike would be ideal but if you don't have secure locking at your destination, then a scooter makes sense. Skateboard has close to the same speed, inline skates might actually be faster but will require more effort. Really depends how /fit/ you are, I could do 20+ miles on a skateboard but I could also do 100+ miles on a bike. Fatties here think 7 miles on a scooter is absurd but they're just fat
